Roman Molino Dunn

Music Composer for Film, TV, Commercials

Roman Molino Dunn is an award-winning composer and Billboard charting music producer (a.k.a Electropoint) at Mirrortone Studios in New York City. He has composed and produced music for advertising agencies and corporations, for television commercials, tv shows, short film, feature films, radio, and internet campaigns. Brands who have used his music include Burger King, PayPal, Marriott, Michael Kors, NBC, The Ad Council, Clinique, Snapple, Globe and Mail, Honeywell, Maserati, Tom Ford, Kopari, and many more. TV networks that have used his work include E!TV, A&E, MTV, Oxygen, BET, Bravo, Netflix, Discovery, TLC, and Nascar. In addition to corporate music composition, as a producer he has worked with major and indie labels and Grammy-winning artists alike.

Roman graduated with an accelerated BA/MA from Hunter College in New York City, attaining both my Bachelor's degree in music theory and his Master’s degree in music composition in 4 years. He studied composition foremost with Shafer Mahoney and Christopher Theofanidis. He has also studied composition with Allen Anderson, Michael Annicchiarico, Poundie Burstein, and Mark Spicer, and mathematics and computation in counterpoint with John Rogers.

Roman's work as a music producer is constantly crossing with his work as a composer. While most of the work that would qualify as composition is for film and television, the work as a music producer is generally called as such because it is for commercials or artists. His tracks have been signed by numerous networks including E!TV, A&E, MTV, Oxygen, BET, Bravo, Netflix, Discovery, TLC, and Nascar.

As a music producer, songs that he has produced for clients have place on the Billboard and iTunes charts. His remixes for artists have made it to the club charts, and his pop music has been on the dance charts. All of Roman's work as a music producer is under the pseudonym Electropoint, and you can learn more about that here.

Breathing Through a Straw Wins at Canadian Film Fest

Posted April 2nd, 2018 at 12:00pm

I had the absolute pleasure of scoring for director Leigh Rivenbark for his break-out film Breathing Through A Straw. The lead was played by Christian Lloyd (A Handmaiden's Tale), so between their two talents it is no surprise this film has been doing well at festivals. The most recent success for the film came at the prestigious Canadian Film Fest where it picked up the Jury Award for Best Short Film. I really am honored to work on every film that I do, but scoring this one was truly a labor of love and a cherished experience. Can't wait until the film is available to share with all!

Roman Molino Dunn Scoring Feature Film Huracán

Posted April 2nd, 2018 at 12:00pm

Filmmaker and actor Cassius Corrigan's feature film Huracán is deep in post-production and I am honored to be scoring this film. There are some amazing actors from both the traditional film and tv world, as well as MMA fighters who are lending their talents to this picture. The musical language that we are exploring is like nothing I've ever done and hopefully like nothing you've ever heard! You can learn more about the film here.

Indieactivity Interview

Posted February 6th, 2018 at 1:40pm

Posted October 8th, 2017 at 2:00pm

Sorice has been out for about a year now, and it has gotten so much attention in Europe. Now the award-winning short is picking up some more titles, but this time in South America at the Rolda Web Fest where it won best short film. You can watch the short here.

Clinique Buys out Original Track

Posted September 13th, 2017 at 12:00pm

Composing for commercials is such a rewarding cross between composer and producer, but nothing is quite as exciting when a custom composition for a commercial gets picked up and turned into a full on brand campaign. My recent track for Clinique's Fresh Pressed line was one such track that ended up in the full line of products.

Roman Molino Dunn Scores Tom Ford Commercial

Posted August 22nd, 2017 at 4:00pm

I absolutely love when I get to bring my film scoring skills and my pop music producer skills together on one project, and that is exactly what composing the music for fashion commercials allows me to do. As a composer and producer at Mirrortone Studios I get a lot of commercial projects from some amazing agencies, and this time I was lucky enough to score two Tom Ford Commercials. You can check them out below!

Cult Classic Trilogy Bear City's third installment has won multiple awards over the past year in major film festivals, including Audience Award for Best Feature Film at the 2016 qFliq Philadelphia Film Festival and Audience Award for best Feature Film at 2016 Reeling Chicago International Film Fest.

Pee Sitting Down Accepted into Oscar-qualifying Hollyshorts Festival

Posted July 25th, 2017 at 3:15pm

I've been doing a lot of work for triple threat director/writer/actor Misha Calvert, and each project I work on with her seems to do so well on the circuit (definitely because of her not me!). Her dark comedy Pee Sitting Down has been playing in film festivals all over the world (literally, Italy has gotten two different showings!), but it was just accepted into the Hollyshorts Hollywood film festival. Fingers crossed on this one, but judging by the success she has been having we're all very hopeful!

I try to keep all of the news over here about film, tv, and commercial composition, but sometimes I need to do a little cross promotion for my work as producer Electropoint. I was honored when reality tv and popstar Adam Barta asked me to work on the official pop remix of his song flawless with WeTv's celebrity doctor Dr. Miami, so you can imagine my reaction when that song hit #23 on the Billboard Dance Charts and #8 on the iTunes Dance Charts. I won't dive too much more into it here, but if you'd like to learn more you can click over to the Electropoint website.

Molino Dunn Scores for Director Angelo de Whitt's Mother of Children

Posted May 21st, 2017 at 5:00pm

This is the second short from VFX heavy-hitter Angelo de Witt and it's getting attention from all over the industry. De Witt's first short as director scifi thriller Sorice reached critical acclaim and is in talks with multiple studios for development. The follow up Mother of Children takes a darker turn into the world of psychological horror and gave me (Roman Molino Dunn) a whole new world of imagery to score to. Having worked with Angelo before I knew this was going to be epic and that the music had to be just right to capture the power of his unique vision. The score is full of bowed cymbals, scratching strings, and unusual distant melodic elements. With something this organic and eerie it is safe to say I'm looking forward to expanded this score once the film starts its feature development. You can read the coverage on Screenanarchy.com

Roman Molino Dunn Scores Maserati Commercial

Posted April 15th, 2017 at 6:45pm

A good portion of my work is done as a commercial composer working at Mirrortone Studios. One of my favorite commercials was scoring for Maserati's Awaken Your Soul campaign. It has actually been a few months since this job was completed, but the commercial has recently surpassed 1 million views on YouTube, so I thought it would be the perfect time to share this spot. Check it out below!

Activist win's Best Webseries at Big MINI Media Festival

Posted November 20th, 2016 at 4:30pm

It's been almost a year since I started scoring the comedic web-series Activist, and it's been a real pleasure to compose all the music for this tongue-in-cheek program. As a film composer it has been everything you could want, an opening them, stingers, montages, emotional moments, and lots of one-liners and situational irony. The cast, crew, and director were all so amazing that I am hardly surprised that in its first festival in NYC it picked up a win as Best Webseries.
